If I may offer a bit of help...
The afflictions Job suffered were of "this" world, meaning natural. The goal being, in the case of Job, to exemplify that no matter what material thing that was "taken away" Job's relationship with God would endure.
We are to strive to know and understand God, to trust Him to supply our "needs" and understand that our "desires" of the flesh may not always be satisfied. Job was a wonderful example of how we CAN keep our faith, our truth, in God no matter what happens to our natural bodies, or to our natural lives, because the only TRUE battle we fight is not physical, but spiritual.
My husband lost his son the day after Christmas, with absolutely NO warning. God called him home. The verse my husband has clung to in this is Job 13:15 - Thou He slay me, YET I will trust in Him. This is because this experience has taught my husband that his - our - faith in Christ will not protect us from every hurtful thing that could happen, and so when we do encounter trials, we must then focus on our spiritual selves, rather than our materials desires.
I pray this helps. Job is certainly a tough one
